This is an old style non-associative dimension

Hi all,

In 16.6, when I export a sub drawing with dimensions then import it back into another design I get an error " This is an old style non-associative dimension that cannot be edited this way"  I was wondering if there was a way to make it so it recognizes it as editable dimension?

This is going from 16.6 to 16.6.

Any help would be appreciated.

    There doesn't appear to be a way to stop this from happening so the only option you have is to delete the dimension and add it back in again. Might be worth a call to Cadence support / Channel Partner for them to investigate but I suspect as part of the sub drawing export / import is losing the association.
